OverviewThe ultimate goal of the Java Web Developer Nanodegree program is to equip students with the unique skills they need to build enterprise-scale applications with Java. A graduate of this program will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of the Spring Boot framework and associated integrations and plugins.

• Describethedifferencesbetweenwebservices,APIsandmicroservices;developRESTandGraphQLAPIs;andlearnhowtosecure,consume,documentandtestthoseAPIsandwebservices.

• BuildapplicationsthatreadandwritetorelationaldatabasesusingboththeJavaPersistenceAPI( JPA)andSQL.UsestandarddesignpatternstomakeyourpersistencelayereasytotestandintegratewithaSpring Boot application.

• LearnaboutGit,versioncontrolandbestpracticesforauthorizationandauthentication.UseJenkinstobuildCI/CDpipelinetodeploycodetoproduction.
